Guys looking out for #1 (themselves). They are going to want to put up numbers and get paid that's what you get with these young players in their prime looking to get paid. Great team building strategy. How about you do it right find some young players to develop who don't have a name yet so you can mold them to your system and not just smash a bunch of PF's on a team and expect it work out.
Only thing you did was not tie up cap space which is good but in terms of development and team building, terrible.
They did that last year with guys like Mario and Mudiay. It didn't work out.
With all the veterans they signed, this year is the year the FO can truly judge Fizdale and decide if he has a future as the Knicks HC.
And we still have players "who don't have a name yet" like Trier, Dotson, and Brazdeikis.
On top of that we have prospects like RJ, Mitch, DSjr. Risky prospects like Ntilikina and Knox. Veterans on short term deals that can be easily moved if you decide to go full tank. MM can be released if he is causing issues. Cap flexibility. And 2 picks from Dallas.
I'm not sure what more Knicks could want in this life-cycle.
PS, I know the running joke is that the Knicks have all PFs, but in reality Bobby and Taj are likely to see more time at Center, since Mitch is the only "Center" on this roster.

BINGO
Nets fans I would be very cautious if I were you. You guys are really climbing a slippery slope over here with how cocky you guys are acting.

Cautiously optimistic that once KD is back they can contend, how dare they.

True and gusy like Trier, Dotson, Braz, Knox etc should be the ones seeing the most minutes but guys like Morris, Payton, Bullock, Ellington etc are likely going to take developmental time away from the younger players. That's what I hate the most about the Knicks offseason. If you told me it's just depth great but benching guys you want to develop is not how they'll get better. Are you trying to win or develop? You can try to do both but it's not easy. Let's see what they prioritize.

You consider the way that Nets fans are behaving on RealGm is cautious? Lmao

Only minutes they might take away from are Frank, Knox, and Trier. And honestly, they had their time last year and showed little to no development. And really didn't look interested in general. Getting minutes doesn't mean you are going to develop.
I'm hoping this year, since they have to fight for their spot at practice, they will show more hunger and willingness to improve.

Fighting off hoards of NYK and BOS fans telling them their team is terrible is not easy.
You show me one post where a Nets fan is claiming Championship and I'll agree with you. Until then optimism should be at it's highest in the offseason. Not the first set of fans to overrate their team and most here seem as I see say mid to high 40's in wins 3-5 seed. Haven't seen anything outrageous like you claim.
I saw the word "stacked" throw out there which is about the strongest adjective I've seen. They are really deep if that is the point he was trying to make IDK.
All these Nets threads aren't even started by Net posters on here.

So he says he'll never go there but also says he thought about it.
It's almost like KD contradicts himself and says things sometimes that don't make a ton of sense. This is the dumbest thread on the GB with a lot of dumb threads. I don't speak for all Knick fans, but many Knick fans are just fine and dandy with how things are going. It's taken what seems like 20 years for the team to finally make good, sound decisions. That's pretty much it.
You mean like surrounding your young talent with players like Marcus Morris and Bobby Portis?

Your presence in this thread along the dozens of other Knicks fans who swarm every Nets related topic just proves otherwise. Sack up bro we aren't going anywhere.

it became cool to be a net last february, but they went ahead and traded the guy that carried them to the playoffs.
in summary, durant is butthurt and has a fragile mind. new york media/social media will eat him alive.
actually 2014 when they had Kidd, KG, Pierce, D-Will, Iso Joe & AK-47.

That's all the Nets need is carve out a little piece of the market, I'm not working for the Nets or care if they ever take over NY. IF you think Nets fans care about that you're mistaken. NY is easily big enough for 2 teams doesn't mean the Knicks will have the success that the Yankees do and the Nets will be as successful as the Mets. Mets get plenty of attention in NY even with the Yankees and the Nets will too.
Don't pretend like you don't care about the Nets though when you find your way into all their threads. Own up to it your nervous that KD and Kyrie just might live up to the hype and that's ok I'd be saying the same thing if they were in NY, I get it. To pretend like the Nets are not in the minds of NYK fans though, stop it.
